Our 2020 Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a towering example of our premier offering, radiating a powerful, aromatic array of ripe dark berries, grape compote, black cherry, orange peel, and black plum. These luscious fruit notes mingle with delicate, savory aromas of wild violet, rose petal, fresh spearmint, Bay Laurel, and a touch of earthiness. The influence of French oak aging imparts warm undertones of vanilla, caramel, and allspice, enhancing the bouquet.
On the palate, this wine showcases a lush saturation of dark fruits that deliver a voluminous and mouth-coating experience. Its robust structure is richly layered, revealing a full body that unfolds with secondary flavors of bittersweet dark chocolate, savory umami, supple leather, tobacco leaf, and graphite—each adding depth and intricacy. The iconic “Rutherford Dust” tannins are distinct, lending a pronounced frame to the wine with a chewy, cocoa-powder texture. The palate remains vibrant and fresh, marked by balanced acidity and a length that speaks to both the wine's generous spirit and its potential for graceful aging. Already delightful upon release, this wine promises to evolve beautifully over the years.
